Re: Findings of Fact, application of Jeff Noyes, Jeff Nelson and
Craig Heindel for conversion of 1220 square feet within an
accessory structure to office use on a site which contains an
existing 5,700 square foot general office building, 428-434
Shelburne Road.
On the 25th of April, 1995, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Jeff Noyes, Jeff Nelson and
Craig Heindel for final plat approval under Section 204 of the
South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the following
findings:
1. This project consists of converting 1200 square feet in a
detached accessory structure (motel building) to office use on a
site containing a 5,700 square foot office building. The sketch
plan was reviewed on 3/28/95.
2. This property located at 428-434 Shelburne Road lies within the
Cl District. It is bounded on the north by an office building, on
the east by a single family residence, on the south by White Place
and on the west by Shelburne Road.
3. Access/circulation: Access is provided via three (3) curb
cuts, two (2) on White Place and one (1) on Shelburne Road. Along
White Place, the westerly curb cut is ingress only and the easterly
curb cut is egress only. The Shelburne Road curb cut is egress
only. No changes proposed.
Circulation is adequate.
4. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 28% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage is 75.6% (maximum allowed is 70%).
These coverages are existing and will not be made worse by this
application. Front yard coverage along Shelburne Road would
decrease from 60.5% to 55% and along White Place decrease from 66%
to 65% (maximum allowed is 30%).
5. Neither structure meets the setback requirements. Therefore
any alteration must comply with Section 26.002 of the zoning
regulations.
6. Parking: The existing use on the property requires a total of
35 parking spaces. The Commission previously approved 22 spaces
for the property based on the reasoning that the "motel" building
was to be used only for storage.
1
7. This proposal requires five (5) additional spaces. These
spaces would be added on -site. One space would be added adjacent
to the motel, two (2) spaces would be added west of the landscaped
island in front of the inn building and two ( 2 ) spaces would be
constructed in a grass area near the southeast corner of the lot.
This will result in a total of 27 spaces being provided including
two (2) handicapped spaces.
8. Landscaping: There is no minimum landscaping requirement,
based on building cost, for this project. No additional
landscaping recommended.
9. Traffic: The estimated traffic generation approved for this
property on 11/23/93 (i.e., 29.6 vte's) included traffic which
would be generated by the "motel" if it were entirely converted to
office use. Therefore, no additional traffic is expected.
10. Sewer: No additional allocation needed.
11. Lighting: No changes.
12. Other: The site plan should be revised to indicate the
correct zoning district on the adjoining Provost property, the
correct designation being R4.
DECISION & CONDITIONS
Based on the above Findings of Fact, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approves the final plat application of Jeff Noyes, Jeff
Nelson and Craig Heindel for conversion of 1220 square feet within
an accessory structure to office use on a site which contains an

following stipulations:
1. All previous approvals and stipulations which are not
superseded by this approval shall remain in effect.
2. The Planning Commission approves a total of 27 parking spaces
for the property. This is a 13 spaces or 32.5% shortfall. It is

serve the uses on the property.
3. The final plat plans shall be revised to show the correct
zoning district for the adjacent Provost property as R4.
4. A zoning permit shall be obtained prior to converting the
approved portion of the "motel" building to office use.
2
5. A Certificate of Occupancy/Compliance shall be obtained from
the Administrative Officer prior to occupancy of the new office
space. All site improvements, including the five (5) additional
parking spaces, shall be constructed prior to occupancy.
6. The final plat plans shall be recorded in the land records
within 90 days or this approval is null and void. The plans shall
be signed by the Planning Commi s . 1n Chairman or Clerk prior to
recording.
